Wedding Video Music

We are often asked about music for our videos … Who chooses it?  Can we choose it?  How many songs?

We love having input from couples about their music choices and encourage you to have some input.  We have discovered some fantastic music through the selections made by some of our couples.

We prefer to use licensed music for our films.  We have a license through APRA to use whatever music you choose on your DVDs. Unfortunately this license does not extend to online use, so we use a number of other licensing sources for the music that we use in our highlight films that go online.  We find that the music that we select for the highlight films is more suitable than most popular & commercial music which tends to go out of date very quickly and will essentially make your wedding video feel old in a few years time.  We aim to find songs that will be a lot more timeless.

So here are some tips on selecting music for your wedding video.

* Choose music that reflects who you are as a couple.

* Please avoid clichés.  If you’re thinking Shania Twain’s ‘From This Moment’ … please keep thinking !!

* Don’t necessarily look for music that you already have an attachment to.  Our best videos come together where we are given freedom to choose the music based on the couples music preferences.  This way, we often find music that appeals to the couple that they have no previous attachment to … this then creates a NEW attachment to your wedding film and help you to treasure it all the more.

Music and audio are as much a part of the video as the visuals.  We find that our best results happen when couples trust us to put together the visuals and the audio 🙂
